The most exciting work we did was to install a brand new wall in our bathroom, in the form of a pocket door enclosure to house a little area for the toilet (or as you fancy people say it, the WC). How fabbbb is it?!

AFTER

(Excuse me, ladder? Can't you see I'm trying to take a pic for the readers??)

I really, really love it, people! I am so glad we chose to build this little room.

Installation of the door was just as easy as following the instructions on the pocket door trim kit

(bought at Lowes)... says the girl who absolutely didn't help in the installation process.

David or my bro-in-law, Nate, can fill you in if you have any questions!

Is that the beginning of some drywall I see on the wall? Oh heck yes.

And... wait for it... we also stocked up on some beaaaautifulll tileeeeee!!

(More on it next week!)

And that handy husband of mine worked out ALL of the electrical kinks in the bathroom that I

ranted about last week. Like, every single new light switch and electrical plug is placed, hooked up

and working! How amazing is that?!

That's an outlet. With a little green light. Which means it works. As in, my hairdryer is ready to be plugged in!

So electrical is pretty much done! We just have to install our new lighting (so cute, get excited!) later this week. Electrical? Check! Another thing off the list.

So there's your weekly bathroom wrap up, friends! DEFINITELY seeing a light at the end of the tunnel :)
A big shout out goes to David and Nathan- you guys are really amazing!!

Guess what. Tuesday is the first day of February. Can you even believe it?! One month in 2011 already gone! Whew, time flies by when you're having fun ;)

To kick off the start of the month, I'm starting a new series.

To be perfectly honest, I'm kind of on the iffy side with Valentine's Day. Let's just say that I refuse to let David buy me any teddy bears or red roses. I know, I know- bah humbug!

But that doesn't stop us from being sappy year-round.

Soooo, in case you are looking for some Valentine's Day ideas (or anniversary or birthday or just an every day kind of I love you), then I've got some great Not-So-Valentiney ideas for you. Can't wait to share!

First off, love the song. I always think of The Proposal when I hear it (: And now I'll think of you, too. You made huge progress, girl. I bet you're so happy. The hearts made me laugh! Can't wait to see what you have up your sleeve for the series!!

Glad you stopped the lyrics before the um, well you know, part. :) Love the tile sneak peek and the pocket door looks awesome! Completing the electrical is a huge step! Looking forward to seeing your fixture.

LOL on Emily's comment. Will be singing this song all night. Thanks girl! So excited for you. You can feel your sense of relief and accomplishment jump off the screen. I love how putting in the pocket door was a piece of cake . . . for the boys, that is! Excited for your new series. I am with you.

YAY door!It's fantastic...really. Kitchen remodel in T-minus 13 (ish) days and counting. I can't wait to share with you!And no, we don't celebrate Valentine's or Sweetest or whatever other Hallmark holiday has been created. We do the sappy love bit all year long.Happy Monday to you!

Ok your post title has me dying laughing! My husband loves Little John, I almost bought him a goblet last year for his birthady to put his crunk juice in! So excited about your bathroom! Its going to look awesome!

I had to break it down white-girl style when I saw your post title. My two year old just stared at me blankly like I was insane. Whatever. Sometimes you just have to dance to toddler-inappropriate songs. I looove pocket doors...can't wait to see things start coming together!! xox

Wow...you guys made a ton of progress! Love the pocket door. I have always wanted one!!! Wish I could say we were productive this weekend, but we couldn't resist the nice weather and went downtown to Atlantic Station for the day Saturday, thinking we'd get stuff done Sunday. Only to end up in two ERs (long story) with our oldest all day!!!

I think we have the same music taste :) That song makes me think of the movie White Chicks :) Your bathroom is turning out beeeuuuutiful! The pocket door rocks- props to your hubby. Who needs roses when you got a man to do your electrical work- now that's love!
